and graphic performance was very poor. So, when I looked at this inxi
output, I realized, that seemingly no intel drivers were loaded. So I had the idea to apt install xserver-xorg-video-intel
.
This removed quite a bit of other stuff (unfortunately, I did this with apt on a ssh session, so maybe I haven't got the whole output).

Now, the system still boots, but the de login screen does not allow any inputs, neither mouse nor keyboard. The cursor is blinking, though. I cannot reach a tty and I have no network connection (as seen from the router).
Pressing esc
during boot brings me to a working grub console, that is the best in interactivity I could evoke. Shift
does not seem to do anything, so at least that way I cannot get to a safe boot option or anything alike.
How should I continue from here?
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
